Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy (Official Music Video)

[@bleep77]

There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

[@prettygalprettycool5113]

There's certain 90's songs that give me emotional trauma. Like that mc hammer song(please please-no need to remind me of the name of that song...) And vanilla ice song that we all pretended wasn't some kind of remake of Bowie. However Gin Blossoms were in a league of their own. I considered them musicians. I still do

The older I get, the harder it is to reconnect with that feeling of blissful happiness that came with being a kid. But a song can open that door for just a second and fill my heart with a gust of happiness I thought long gone. Even if it’s only for a moment, sometimes a moment is all you need.

[@CWSJack]

Vincent Vega That’s what I love about songs like this. Growing up I was listening to them, and while I sang along I didn’t know the impact of the words. Listening now, I feel it and also just remember those great times as a kid, carefree.

My mom died about a year ago. This was her favorite song. We would hear it on the radio from time to time all through me growing up. Today was the first time I heard it since she passed. I was in the middle of the store and had to hide in the diaper aisle while I cried. But I when I heard "cause all I really wants to be with you" I felt like she was making me hear that line, so i knew she was with me. I miss her and this song is solidified as super special to me and will be for the rest of my life. I love and miss you mom.

As such a great fan of the band, it's odd that you aren't aware of how hard they fought to be called Gin Blossoms, not THE. Check out some interviews, they were totally uptight about the article THE. Not part of their name.

75 as well!! So nice to connect with people who were 18 when this came out. Stepping into adulthood, but still incredibly young, naive, hopeful but lost and scared. This song like so many other songs of that time was so upbeat that you think it’s about something happy. But in this case it’s about heartbreak and trying to move on from a big loss or f**king up a big piece of your life (which I did around this time).

Lose the war. Lose themselves after the movie ends and the lights go up. This is the last cry, not for help, but for one last good bye before he goes his way forever. Sad. Beautiful. Real.

+TheNewAmericanMedia I always thought it was "you can trust me not to think" - as you know he was an impulsive ex-boyfriend who did stupid things hence the reason they're broken up - and he's sayiing 'yeah I'm predictable in that respect - you can trust that I'll do stupid things...but I also won't sleep around and if you don't expect too much - you might just be satisfied with me.'

[@baka-crossing]

+nativesun It was originally "You can trust me not to drink" because Hopkins had a very visible alcohol problem all through the band's timeline. The use of "trust me not to drink" would have been grossly ironic because it's obviously something Hopkins would pay lip service to, but not adhere. It further didn't make any sense to use "drink" over "think" as the song itself starts off very early with "and I'm in no shape for drivin'" suggesting to say "you can trust me not to drink" is nothing more than, well, drunk talk.

If you wanted variety you had to have the funds to buy CDs...and there might not even be more than one song you even end up liking lol! I grew up a bit poor, so I prefer having more money now as an adult too. I feel like the societal pressure to conform to a very narrow standard of being was way more intense too back then compared to now which was another negative.

TRIBUTE: To DOUG HOPKINS, Gin Blossoms & his lyrics/talent to this song- “Hey Jealousy” A melancholy, bittersweet song reminiscent of his life, his love & the band. A mega hit & reminder of his success as he tried to overcome his drinking & discord/wedge with his band members. Unfortunately, he took his own life. We honor & give him credit here: time/talent & treasure - may he R.I.P. Thank you Doug for your many contributions as we listen today - 2022. Loved, not forgotten.

[@JosephRoan]

+EQOAnostalgia No, everything was better. No iphones. No autotune. The music was real, people were real. We used to hang out and listen to records, watch music videos, walk around all over town. We had to call each other at home, and once we met up nobody sat around staring at a phone. And we dressed so much cooler.

[@miuramike8310]

+EQOAnostalgia If this is nostalgia, then sign me up! It's certainly better than what passes for music today. I'm in my 40's and I grew up listening to some great music! My parents were hippies who went to Monterey Pop in '67, saw Hendrix numerous times, and I was 2 months from being born when my they went to Woodstock. The 60's , 70's , and 80's music was a great time, but after about 94 I think the music scene took a big shit. I would rather listen to the dreaded "disco" music of the 70's than pop, rap or hip-hop! If I was a teenager today, I would probably be another tragic suburban white kid driving his parents BMW who thinks he's from the ghetto. And the tattoo craze has gone mental. Nothing like a temporarily good idea that lasts forever! As Bill Maher said "She might be the girl with the dragon tattoo today, but in the future she will be the old lady with the tattoo that's draggin'.

[@Maialeen]

+EQOAnostalgia It's nostalgia most likely if we ignore all these other enthusiastic kinda misguided responses and look at it realistically. This is a bit before my time, when this came out I was a very little kid. But I've caught myself romanticizing my teenage years in every aspect and then I stopped and thought about it...I didn't love that time at all and couldn't wait for it to end. I'm not saying you didn't possibly love yours. But the fact is, that's what people love to do. Look at their times past with rose colored glasses and remember it better than it was. That's why everyone believes that literally everything was better when they were young or they wish they were born earlier...cause it's always something else that was "better back then". And then they whine about how there's no good music today even though we're overflowing with amazing bands and singers and we can access their music easier than ever. We're seriously drowning in all the good music we can access today. You can find it without even making a huge effort, that's how easy it is. Bands get fans thanks to the internet, they don't even have to be on tv. Teenagers today will reminisce about how music from their generation was "real music, unlike this crap today." Circle of life. This is just good music, no matter what year.

I agree! My brothers went to war because of 9/11 they're not the same...lots of PTSD. Seen things kids (because they were only 18 they were still kids) shouldn't have seen. Its a disconnect from the world. We lost our bond. They no longer have a spark and faith in people. Mom and I pray for them to find the happiness but it's tough. My brother is having twins next year so I'm praying that will bring life back into him. The other one has since drowned himself into work. Has 3 kids numbs himself from all the hate and diversity. So sad but im hopeful. This world still has time to change! Always look for the one good thing it will bring you back to life and let love flow in!

[@glennarnold4108]

Lack of promise has nothing to do with this song or any music for that matter. Enjoy the music when you hear it and apply the lyrics according to what they were written for and you’ll always get more out of it. 09-11-2001 was not the initial turning point in the USA as the event itself was somewhat inevitable. The world the USA once knew changed shortly following the death of JFK and has been a roller coaster for most in it since. Those thinking the world changed after 09-11 actually was simply awakened to the highs and lows of life.

One of the deepest songs ever. This singer is singing about regret. He passed up what went well for him, but thought there was a better route. But there was no better option. He sings "hey jealousy" cause he is jealous of what of the fact that someone else could have what he could have had. He can't let go. He tries to plead and pleads by making promises, but the best is to not get one's hopes up, because big promises can't be kept. The past is gone but something might be found to take its place, he hopes to replace the foul mistakes he made. He hopes for a something to start.
